Philip Athans is on page 233 of 396 of Bare-Faced Messiah: The True Story of L. Ron Hubbard
The content of the book remains fascinating while the incessant typos, scanning errors, and other signs of a complete lack of copy editing or proofreading remains infuriating.

Yeah, so far this is NOT good. The "beat sheet" is just a simplified Hero's Journey, which was thoroughly debunked ages ago.

Okay, I had to admit to myself that I checked this out of the library with the intention of writing what could be described as a "takedown piece" on Fantasy Author's Handbook.

But is that really who I am? That's NEVER been what I've been about or what FAH has been about.

So after a bit of a conversation with myself, I have pried my mind open and promised myself I'd look for the positives so many people find in it.

Really slowed down on my crawl through this actually quite fascinating book. I'm back at it!

Philip Athans is finished with Shadow & Claw (The Book of the New Sun, #1-2)
Weird that GoodReads thinks this book ends at page 413 when the last text page is 510.
